This department has great respect for the SCHOLASTIC, but can claim no credit for its very substantial achievements. There is no connection between the SCHOLASTIC and the Department of Journalism. Neither desires any. Both are, in my opinion, right. Thomas Stritch Head of Department. Insufferable Situation Editor: Living in a community, as we are, presents many inconveniences which have to be tolerated. This fact has re­ strained me from heretofore voicing my opinion on an absolutely insufferable situation: the farce known as a "chow line" in the Notre Dame dining halls. I cannot reconcile myself to the whole­ "ARROW Gordoa O.xfords are tops on my list'' sale disregard for the line. What con­ said John in a recent campus interview. "The collars ceivable legitimate reason can there be look good and fit perfectly. The body is cut right, for it? The selfishness of the "line- doesn't bimch at the waist.

Several stu­ dents wrote to SCHOLASTIC to protest its appearance. ARRO^ SCHOLASTIC has a contract with its advertisers that sells space for several weeks, and in some cases the entire year, ahead of publication. We have no way of knowing the content of these advertisements in advance. However, because we believe there is some justification in the protests of stu­ dents, we are informing our advertising MICHIGAN at WASHINGTON agent that hereafter any advertisements that we believe objectionable to Notre March 17, 1950 Dame standards \\'ill be refused pub­ making a fair and reasonable deter­ thing approaching an adequate decision lication. mination of who was to receive the between 9:30 and 11:30 on Tuesday IMany of the leading college publica­ well-publicized $50 prize for the most night. tions in the nation come through my attractive booth at the carnival.
